Original Title: Scientists have uncovered just how naked mole-rat repair their DNA – and it has the potential to be harnessed for humans to do the same. Their enzyme has 4 key changes that facilitate the important work that extends their lifespan and keeps them healthy and disease-free for a remarkably long time.
